[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 131470, member: 3907"] Shari, I'm sorry that you're having such a hard time getting an accurate diagnosis. Truly, from everything you describe it does sound like autism to me. Not every person with autism has trouble with eye contact, and eye contact issues do not manifest to the same degree in every autistic person. Especially with the intense intervention you have been providing, your little one may be able to make (or mimic) good eye contact. One of the tricks I learned as a very young child was to look right above and between someone's eyes, just at the bridge of their nose. People think I'm making direct eye contact, but it's much less intense and uncomfortable for me. If you're in a position to get another neuropsychologist evaluation done, I would look further into Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Trinity [/QUOTE]
